A National Problem
The nation was upended Friday by Donald Trump's coronavirus diagnosis, but for critics, it comes as little surprise.
Although we know from taped conversations with Bob Woodward that the US president took the virus more seriously in private than he did in public, Trump, and many of those close to him, were famously cavalier about standard precautions recommended by health authorities.
On Friday, Mark Meadows spoke to the public without wearing a mask, for example, despite Trump's positive test.
This is like “Game of Thrones”.
What if Trump gave it to Biden at the debate (incubation period reported to be up to 14 days). To be continued.
I am a germaphobic, mask wearer who only goes out to the grocery store or to hike or to bike ride, fyi. I do not want anyone to die, but this situation is unbelievable.
I am the same. I wear a mask, hike solo, and avoid stores except to buy booze.
It is so unbelievable.
I am not a fan or supporter, but I don’t think this is going to end well for Donald Trump.
if there’s any justice…
Getting emergency infusion of experimental drug then being immediately admitted to Walter Reed is going to hamper the “Bolsonaro” PR tactic.
Yes. Even if he is released from hospital on Monday, not every American can check in to Walter Reed as soon as they show symptoms.
POTUS was moved to Walter Reed while he can still walk unassisted. Optics, it’s a thing.
I agree on taking precautions. I wear a P100 mask with a filtered exhaust vent when I get groceries or provide rides to family; otherwise I stay home. N95 masks would be more convenient. Why hasn’t the US ramped up production of N95 masks? Look at Taiwan (my favorite Asian country), which sent 10,000 N95 masks to Texas. Look at Peter Tsai, a Taiwanese immigrant in the US who is trying to help with the N95 shortage here.
It would appear that putting your son in law in charge of giving political kickbacks to “mask suppliers” works about as well as you would expect to generate actual mask supply.
I’m not religious, but it’s clear to me after this week that God loves a good joke. Still trying to figure out who the joke is on.
